The couple’s daughter testifies

For the first time this week, Gisèle Pélicot arrives before her children at the courthouse. On Friday, September 6, her daughter and daughter-in-law testify before the court.It is a family under the rubble, crying but also knowing that these tears are shared by the families of the accused.“, said Maître Antoine Arebala-Camus, the lawyer of Gisèle Pélicot and her family.

The last names of the accused were leaked, which reportedly led to virulent attacks on social media.The idea that other families, and especially young children, could be harassed by going to school because they are the children of an accused person would be to pervert what Gisèle Pélicot wanted by opening the doors of this courtroom to make this trial public.”said Maître Stéphane Babonneau, the other lawyer for the victim and her family. The trial will resume on Monday with these 51 accused. A total of 69 days of hearings are planned. Next week, the questioning of Dominique Pélicot should begin.
